More quotes by Joseph Smith, Jr.
Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
May those principles, which were so honorably and nobly defended, namely, the Constitution of our land, by our fathers, be established forever.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Don't be limited in your views with regard to your neighbor's virtue...You must enlarge your soul towards each other.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The Constitution should contain a provision that every officer of the Government who should neglect or refuse to extend the protection guaranteed in the Constitution should be subject to capital punishment and then the president of the United States would not say, Your cause is just, but I can do nothing for you.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I am the greatest advocate of the Constitution of the United States there is on the earth. In my feelings I am always ready to die for the protection of the weak and oppressed in their just rights. The only fault I find with the Constitution is, it is not broad enough to cover the whole ground.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
It is my meditation all the day, and more than my meat and drink, to know how I shall make the Saints of God comprehend the visions that roll like an overflowing surge before my mind.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Governor Ford is sworn to support the Constitution of the United States and also of this State Illinois, and these constitutions guarantee religious as well as civil liberty to all religious societies whatever.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
If there is trouble in the country, neither I nor my people made it, and all that we have ever done, after much endurance on our part, is to maintain and uphold the constitution and institutions of our country, and to protect an injured, innocent, and persecuted people against misrule and mob violence.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom seek learning, even by study and also by faith.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I never thought it was right to call up a man and try him because he erred in doctrine, it looks too much like methodism and not like Latter day Saintism. Methodists have creeds which a man must believe or be kicked out of their church. I want the liberty of believing as I please, it feels so good not to be tramelled.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
We are friendly to our country, and when we speak of the flag of our Union, we love it, and we love the rights the Constitution guarantees to every citizen. What did the Prophet Joseph say? When the Constitution shall be tottering we shall be the people to save it from the hand of the foe.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The fundamental principles of our religion are the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, concerning Jesus Christ, that He died, was buried, and rose again the third day, and ascended into heaven and all other things which pertain to our religion are only appendages to it.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I could explain a hundred fold more than I ever have of the glories of the kingdoms manifested to me in the vision, were I permitted, and were the people prepared to receive them.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Truth does not appease but inflames the curiosity.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
The benefits of the constitution and laws are alike for all and the great Elohim has given me the privilege of having the benefits of the constitution and the writ of habeas corpus.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Every man should esteem his neighbor as himself.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Sometimes the Lord brings us low before he can lift us higher.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I never told you I was perfect but there is no error in the revelations which I have taught.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
I combat the errors of ages I meet the violence of mobs I cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority I cut the gordian knot of powers, and I solve mathematical problems of universities, with truth-diamond truth and God is my 'right hand man'.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
For he that diligently seeketh shall find and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old as in times to come wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round - 1 Nephi 10:19
Joseph Smith, Jr.
